Crinkly Ears

...Personally, I was hoping Mesut would share pictures of himself canoodling with a certain pretty young woman in his latest Facebook Update, not his oh-too-familiar relatives...

On the bright side: At least his English is improving!


And notice: he has the way-cool mirror-imaging down pat!

Community Note: the tag "mesmerizing" will be added to the community. I can't believe we didn't think of it before now. Thank you suzanne410 for the suggestion!

What Was Mesut Up To In Vegas, Anyway? The Secret Footballer Thinks He Knows!

This summer we all had lots of fun wondering what on earth Mesut was up to in Vegas (and who the hell spends 2 weeks there anyway?)

Well, perhaps we can get an idea by turning to The Guardian's "Secret Footballer" for an inside look.

For those of you who are puzzled, The Guardian (which runs the best football sports page of any kind) has a "Secret Footballer" who writes tell-all columns about life at the top. He writes anonymously, since his contract forbids arrangements with newspapers of this kind. While there are certainly many clues dropped as to his identity, and there is a running competition (and even a webpage "whoisthesecretfootballer.com") among readers to determine who he is (and one theory is that he doesn't exist), he has yet to be unearthed.

For now he's still writing columns and has published a book (again, anonymously) of his experiences of the pressures of life in the Prem, playing abroad, his battles with crippling depression etc...

A complete list of his columns CAN BE FOUND HERE

And here is an excerpt from one of his books of a vacation taken in Las Vegas...

The Conspiracy Deepens: Mesut Seizes Control of His Facebook Page!

As has been noted in the comments and the edit of sunrise969's increasingly hilarious post (the entry before this one) Mesut's Facebook entry could not possibly have been written by Mesut, unless he was so drunk the elements of German grammar and basic German spelling had left him.



In a post before that one, we had the suspicion that his Twitter account, though it may now be "real" by default because he feels he can no longer close it now that Arbeloa (official Twitter welcome party) and the Real Madrid website masters have welcomed him aboard, was opened by the same person who had been posting bizarre Facebook entries under his name.

So let's do a quick review of all the strange and inexplicable activity on Mesut's Facebook account over the past 3 days!

( It's been busy, busy, busy on Mesut's Facebook page... )
